Cloud Composer

A fully managed workflow orchestration service built on Apache Airflow

Complex Workflows, Simplified

Cloud Composer is a fully managed workflow orchestration service that empowers you
to author, schedule, and monitor pipelines that span across clouds and on-premises data
centers. Built on the popular Apache Airflow open source project and operated using the
Python programming language, Cloud Composer is free from lock-in and easy to use.

Making Orchestration Easy

Cloud Composer pipelines are configured as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) using Python,
making it easy for users of any experience level to author and schedule a workflow.
One-click deployment yields instant access to a rich library of connectors and multiple
graphical representations of your workflow in action, increasing pipeline reliability by
making troubleshooting easy. Automatic synchronization of your directed acyclic graphs
ensures your jobs stay on schedule.

Create a Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Environment

Cloud Composer gives you the ability to connect your pipeline through a single
orchestration tool whether your workflow lives on-premises, in multiple clouds, or fully
within GCP. The ability to author, schedule, and monitor your workflows in a unified
manner means you can break down the silos in your environment and focus less on
infrastructure.

Open Source at its Core

Cloud Composer is built on Apache Airflow,
the popular open source orchestration tool. This open source project, which Google is contributing back
into, provides freedom from lock in for customers as well as integration with a broad number
of platforms, which will only expand as the Airflow community grows.

Cloud Composer Features

Multi-cloud

Create workflows that connect data, processing, and services across clouds,
giving you a unified data environment.

Hybrid

Ease your transition to the cloud or maintain a hybrid data environment by
orchestrating workflows that cross between on-premises and the public cloud.

Increase reliability of your workflows through easy-to-use charts for
monitoring and troubleshooting the root cause of an issue.

“At Blue Apron,
our data workflows need to operate flawlessly to enable on-time delivery
of perishable food. Cloud Composer helps us orchestrate our pipelines more
reliably by allowing us to author, schedule, and monitor our workflows
from one place using Python.”

— Michael Collis, Staff Software Engineer, Blue Apron

“Cloud Composer gives us the flexibility we need in workflow orchestration.
The ability to define our workflows in Python and use a range of graphs to
monitor them makes the challenges of data processing easier for us.”

Cloud Composer Pricing

Pricing for Cloud Composer is consumption based, so you pay for what you use, as
measured by vCPU/hour, GB/month, and GB transferred/month. We have multiple pricing
units because Cloud Composer uses several GCP products as building blocks.

Pricing is uniform across all levels of consumption and sustained usage.
